Gamers couldn't wait to play Xbox One and check out new games like "Forza Motorsport 5," "Dead Rising 3," and "Killer Instinct." In the last 24 hours: · Over 60 million zombies have been killed in "Dead Rising 3"

· Over 3.6 million miles driven in "Forza Motorsport 5"

· Over 7.1 million combos in "Killer Instinct"

There have been a few issues popping up as players jump on their consoles. Much like the PS4, the overall percentage of effected users is very small so far. For consumer electronics, both have had a good success rate considering the amount of units moved.

The XBox One subreddit has begun collecting issues to try and keep them in one place and also posted some fixes for common problems:

This is just to compile a list of possible problems you can face

1.disc drive not reading game/ loud noise coming from drive (This is the most common issue right now, so far 4-5 cases of this, DO NOT PUT YOUR XBOX VERTICALLY, ONLY HORIZONTALLY)

2.Hanging load screen (If you are stuck at the Xbox logo after updating, DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR CONSOLE.)

3. Ban after using EOU UPDATE ( previously had problems with OS hanging)

4. slow installations if you are having slow disc based installation, do NOT remove disc from console without stopping the install. after stopping the install remove the disc and and completely unplug the console and wait 15 minutes before trying again.

Dont try to install 2 THINGS at once

5. controller not responding after turning console on in intial setup TURN THE CONSOLE OFF AND ON- THEN IT is fixed

6. cross game party system is is defaulted as off,You have to "Turn on party chat" before joining here is how to do it:

7.I ran into error code 0x80bd0009* after attempting to set up the X1 to output surround audio. I found an Xbox Support twitter thread that explained how to troubleshoot this error and it worked: Press Menu Button, Settings, Display & Sound, ensure HDTV is "select," not "auto." This relaunched my display in 480p, which I easily changed back to 1080p; but the key is that this reset my audio output options. I could now select HDMI audio for 5.1 and DTS, which I couldn't before. Hopefully this helps others with the same error code.

Microsoft also issued an official statement about the hardware problems:

We know that with a hardware launch of this magnitude customers will have questions and we have many avenues for customers to get the answers they need and get back in the game as soon as possible. Rest assured we plan to take care of our customers. Any customer who believes they are experiencing an issue with their Xbox One should reach out to us.

There are many avenues available for customers to get in touch with us including:

- Talking to a live customer support person that can call you back if you don't want to wait

- Xbox.com for support pages and forums

- On Twitter with @XboxSupport

- There are also Help and diagnostics on the console by saying "Xbox Help"

And for customers whose issues cannot be fixed with tech support:

The issue is affecting a very small number of Xbox One customers. We're working directly with those affected to get a replacement console to them as soon as possible through our advance exchange program. Rest assured, we are taking care of our customers.

If you have problems with the unit, try some of these fixes or contact Microsoft Support as some can be fixed by the user. If your console is problem free, enjoy your gaming! We'll see you when your hands cramp up and you need a break.
